WEBVTT 00:01.870 --> 00:09.400 Job titles and duties, my students ask me this question after taking this course, what kind of job 00:09.400 --> 00:15.730 am I going to be getting or what are my duties is going to be what I'm going to be working on now. 00:16.150 --> 00:18.350 Those are the questions. 00:18.610 --> 00:23.830 So here's the time that you should know what are the job that you should be applying for or looking 00:23.830 --> 00:27.880 for and what you should be expecting to do when you get that job. 00:28.750 --> 00:36.040 So the basic job that you're going to be getting is the I.T. technician, which is more of a helpdesk 00:36.040 --> 00:36.900 technician job. 00:37.060 --> 00:44.500 I'm not telling you to pursue for specifically for this job, but perhaps for those people who actually 00:44.500 --> 00:50.910 have never done any kind of work in it or don't even have an educational background in it. 00:51.280 --> 00:57.250 And coming from completely different background, I would say, and I would recommend that they should 00:57.250 --> 01:04.330 start with it, help them feel that's one of the feel that is very, very informative. 01:04.570 --> 01:07.360 You will get a lot of information about it. 01:08.350 --> 01:14.050 If you already have some of the experience in it, then I would say go for system administrator job. 01:14.380 --> 01:22.780 A system administrator is an administrator who manages the system and system is comprised of what it's 01:22.780 --> 01:30.130 comprised of hardware, software, operating systems, networking devices, cables and all that stuff. 01:30.310 --> 01:33.790 All that combined together makes a system. 01:35.080 --> 01:39.910 Then the next one another higher level job is a system engineer. 01:40.210 --> 01:46.900 At this level, you will be designing your network, your entire infrastructure, meaning you you will 01:46.900 --> 01:52.120 be putting all the computers together, how many computers you need, how many CPU you need, and so 01:52.120 --> 01:52.810 on and so forth. 01:53.180 --> 02:00.310 Then of course, it becomes a senior job, senior system administrator, senior system engineers, managers, 02:00.310 --> 02:01.520 supervisors and so on. 02:01.870 --> 02:03.690 So these are the titles as you look for. 02:03.880 --> 02:05.470 Now, let's talk about the duties. 02:05.470 --> 02:06.850 What exactly are you going to be doing? 02:07.120 --> 02:09.010 So I have this word document. 02:09.010 --> 02:12.340 I'm going to cover all the duties one by one and of course, really quick. 02:13.030 --> 02:17.310 OK, so here is a document and this document is also part of your hand up. 02:17.320 --> 02:18.220 You could download it. 02:18.220 --> 02:20.920 You could review it after the after this lesson. 02:21.100 --> 02:26.410 So primary administration responsibility is that you will be dealing with installing operating system, 02:26.650 --> 02:32.140 managing the hardware, firmware service, installation and configuration, upgrade Linux servers, 02:32.140 --> 02:37.240 recover that migrate operating system from all the hardware to newer hardware. 02:37.390 --> 02:45.160 You could do that by moving by installing a newer version of the operating system, the newer hardware 02:45.160 --> 02:46.480 and moving all the application. 02:46.750 --> 02:51.910 Pashman maybe learned that from the Yum command third party software installation configuration that 02:51.910 --> 02:56.500 you're going to be dealing with many, many different applications that's going to run on your computer. 02:57.010 --> 03:00.010 Remember, we have a hardware, then we have operating system. 03:00.160 --> 03:03.580 Without the application, both of them are useless. 03:03.610 --> 03:05.950 So you do need applications to run on top of them. 03:06.190 --> 03:09.880 And once you run it, who manages that, you are going to be managing them. 03:10.570 --> 03:15.250 You're not going to be like you're really dealing with configuration of it or using them. 03:15.460 --> 03:20.290 The users are different as compared to you guys. 03:20.290 --> 03:25.030 We're going to be installing it then different type of issues or troubleshooting that you're going to 03:25.030 --> 03:30.220 be dealing with almost everyday like servers is running slow disk is down and is not working. 03:30.430 --> 03:37.210 Mount's issues cannot restart the servers can't get to the DNS review all of them one by one. 03:37.210 --> 03:44.530 And I assure you, I've covered almost 95 percent of all these issues in our training class. 03:44.740 --> 03:48.010 So can I login as route using SSL protocol? 03:48.730 --> 03:51.130 Incorrect hostname memory is high or full. 03:51.130 --> 03:51.940 What do you need to do? 03:52.180 --> 03:53.500 Backup is not working. 03:53.500 --> 03:56.230 Of course, most of the time backup is a third party software. 03:56.380 --> 04:00.850 You're going to be learning that once you're going to be joining set up cron job or scheduler job, 04:00.850 --> 04:02.290 you're going to be setting those up. 04:03.070 --> 04:05.890 Then we have documentation. 04:06.040 --> 04:12.130 Every job in it, especially, I would say, requires you to do the documentation. 04:12.370 --> 04:15.580 What that documentation is, that issue comes in. 04:15.580 --> 04:17.290 You documented how you resolve it. 04:17.590 --> 04:22.030 And if there's a new system to do the installation, you follow the documentation or you create your 04:22.030 --> 04:25.750 own documentation, then you're going to be sitting down the meeting. 04:25.750 --> 04:31.480 Your manager wants you to sit down, give them the progress report, what you did the whole week, or 04:31.480 --> 04:35.890 you probably are going to be meeting with vendors who are going to be coming in with new technologies 04:36.130 --> 04:41.950 to introduce new technologies to me is going to be happen almost at least two or three times a week. 04:41.950 --> 04:46.630 So expect that additional tools that you're going to be working with, like monitoring tools. 04:46.630 --> 04:50.950 How are you going to they're going to be a monitoring tool that monitors your entire infrastructure. 04:50.950 --> 04:51.250 Right. 04:51.430 --> 04:52.810 So who manages that tool? 04:52.810 --> 04:57.040 You you manage that tool documentation tool, ticketing system. 04:57.220 --> 04:59.830 Every issue that comes in most likely is going to be. 05:00.180 --> 05:06.750 Generated inside of a ticket, you get a ticket, you look at the ticket, and then you resolve the 05:06.750 --> 05:10.220 issue, put in your resolution inside the ticket and close it. 05:10.410 --> 05:15.780 And that's also one of the way the management actually kind of measures your performance. 05:16.260 --> 05:19.120 How many tickets you close, how fast you close the ticket. 05:19.380 --> 05:24.620 So this is a way for them to to kind of quantify your performance. 05:24.960 --> 05:30.750 Then you have configuration tool, other tools like RedHat, satellite puppet, Quixtar Active Directory, 05:30.750 --> 05:32.240 all different type of tools. 05:32.250 --> 05:34.710 You're going to be working with Wenda relation. 05:35.850 --> 05:40.050 RedHat, if you're going to be working at Linux, most likely you're going to be dealing a lot with 05:40.050 --> 05:40.590 RedHat. 05:40.770 --> 05:48.090 So I would highly recommend you that you go over to every website listed here, register yourself there, 05:48.780 --> 05:49.710 sign up there. 05:49.710 --> 05:53.910 You will be getting starting getting the new releases, new updates and everything. 05:54.090 --> 05:56.970 So stay ahead of all the technologies that they have. 05:58.080 --> 06:03.630 RedHat, HP, Dell, Cisco, VMware, third party vendors, Microsoft, all these companies you're going 06:03.630 --> 06:09.390 to be dealing with almost every day, because once the issues is not being resolved, most likely you're 06:09.390 --> 06:11.370 going to be escalating to vendors. 06:11.940 --> 06:15.600 Then third party applications support you are going to be providing you're going to be dealing with 06:15.600 --> 06:22.620 licensing every product that you buy or every product that you have in your environment that you have 06:22.620 --> 06:23.460 installed. 06:23.910 --> 06:25.500 They you have to pay for it. 06:25.500 --> 06:26.880 And it comes through the license. 06:27.150 --> 06:29.430 Of course, there is someone who has to manage it. 06:29.640 --> 06:33.300 Well, sometimes managers manage those licenses. 06:33.300 --> 06:37.020 Sometimes they give their responsibility to system administrator to manage that. 06:37.320 --> 06:38.430 So keep that in mind. 06:38.610 --> 06:43.380 Other job related tasks are like you're going to be beat, you're going to be on call. 06:44.730 --> 06:50.610 What that means is if a team has six people, you're going to be getting on call every sixth week. 06:52.020 --> 06:55.920 You're going to be they're going to be giving you a phone, a laptop. 06:55.920 --> 07:02.520 So when you are home or when you are home after hours or over the weekend, an issue comes and you have 07:02.520 --> 07:09.590 to be present, not at the office location, but present to respond to that issue. 07:09.600 --> 07:11.010 So that is being on call. 07:11.580 --> 07:13.740 Be prepared for that recommendation. 07:13.740 --> 07:15.690 You're going to be recommending for new technology. 07:15.900 --> 07:17.340 How are you going to be recommending? 07:17.490 --> 07:20.070 Well, you have to attend seminars. 07:20.220 --> 07:25.110 You have to attend and keep keep up to date with all the technologies. 07:25.110 --> 07:26.220 As I said, sign of it. 07:26.220 --> 07:28.860 All those windows attend training. 07:29.070 --> 07:32.160 You're going to be going with a lot of training. 07:32.160 --> 07:38.880 The the the companies are going to be providing you trainings, project management, evaluate third 07:38.880 --> 07:42.330 party tools, which is more of a posse related tasks. 07:43.290 --> 07:49.470 So these are some of the job's duties that you are going to be working. 07:50.010 --> 07:51.270 There are more. 07:51.270 --> 07:53.550 There are less depending on the environment. 07:53.550 --> 07:55.590 Sometimes in a smaller environment. 07:55.600 --> 07:56.940 Sometimes it's a bigger. 07:57.270 --> 08:01.380 If it's a smaller, you might have to wear many different hats, meaning you're going to be doing a 08:01.380 --> 08:05.430 lot of stuff, but it's good for you because you're starting your career. 08:05.790 --> 08:12.240 But if it's you've been there, you probably want to work for a bigger company that has acquired laid 08:12.240 --> 08:14.340 out infrastructure in the team. 08:14.880 --> 08:17.790 And probably your duty is going to be separate from each other. 08:18.060 --> 08:19.110 So that's what about it? 08:19.320 --> 08:23.760 So I hope you got the gist of it and good luck.
